Talk about stressed out
I walked out on work today after receiving a call that there is a fire at the base of my neighborhood. I swear it felt like my heart stopped...my house is at the base of my neighborhood. I have two pets and I would flip out if something happened to them. I called BayNews 9 and they comfirmed that there is a 50 acre fire blazing out of control that is bearing down on my neighborhood. Fire departments from two counties have been fighting the blaze to no avail. I left work with everything still sitting out and drove home on I-75 at 100mph. Upon my exit you could see the smoke in the sky. When I drove down the road to come towards the main road to my neighborhood you could clearly see the fire. Helicopters are in the sky pouring water. I drove into my neighborhood and there are cars everywhere. The main road (County Line) dead ends and you have the option to turn left or right. I live in a subdivision to the right. The fire is approaching from the left. I drove home first to get an idea of what I am dealing with and then I drove back out to go across to the other side to see how close the fire is to my house. There are cars parked all over the road. People can go into the first two subdivisions and no further. There are fire trucks everywhere. The sky is black. You can't even see the subdivisions at the end of the road. I prayed for rain and when I started to write this it started to rain a little. I've packed some of my things and if it comes to it I guess I will have no choice but to leave. I can honestly say that I cannot remember the last time that I was this nervous. When I was driving home I was shaking. Why am I posting on here? Because I listening to a live report of the fire online. I need something to calm my nerves and writing has always been a form of therapy for me.
pray for rain

I hope it turns out ok, for you and your house in anycase!!
I felt so terrible when I was reading this... Let us know how it goes alright, dear??

Sorry to hear this...
Let's hope the rain and firefighters can save your house
well..on the bright side...your situation is not as bad as you first thought when u first recieved the phone call
*prays*
Where is that rain when you need it?
I hope that everything will be safe.
Oh Dear.. everything will be good.. just stay calm. My prayers for you.
Amber, I hope everything works out for you...
I was going to Tampa today too, but there's going to be a storm around here so I don't want to take my chances.
Usually when I'm stressed out, I either practice dancing, or play the piano.
Again, I wish everything works out for you.
OMG that sucks!!! Im in Orlando now and its pouring outside.....hope this shit puts the fire out!!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and also for all the people that have called to check on me...especially my mom who blew my phone up after hearing it on the news 
and my two best friends that kept calling for updates. 
I just got back from going to see the fire. They are letting people over there now. It is barricaded off but you can see where the fire burned. It's nothing but ashes as far as the eye can see with some trees still standing in the back and off to the right. There are six small fires still burning. There is some type of a crew stationed there with a huge telescope from their truck scanning the area. The amazing thing is this...the fire burned right up to the back of the neighborhod...literally right up to people's backyards. After I posted this thread it downpoured. It was like this storm suddenly erupted to help put out the fire...then it just went away. It didn't last long and after a while the sun came out. The firefighters told the people that lived in the homes along the woods that twenty more minutes and it would have been all over. If it wasn't for that rain...their homes would have burned. It's one thing to hear that...it's another to stand there and see it. There are a bunch of people still just standing there in awe of how close it came. I guess lightning struck and started the fire and since fire trucks couldn't get back there they had no way to put it out. They were depending on helicopters to pour water and sent in firefghters to do the best they could.
I love living where I am, but it does put some things into perspective. My neighborhood is its own community. When you enter into the community you drive down a main road. Off that main road there are little neighborhoods...small subdivisions. I'm sure you guys know what I am talking about. We have our own schools, church, fire department, etc. I live in the back where it dead ends and where all the new development is. Behind all of us is nothing but woods. My house was built in July/August 2002 and they are still building around me. It is peaceful and I do love it...but seeing that fire today was a huge reality check. I have no intentions of moving, but I also acknowledge that a fire is something that could happen in the future because that damn thing was right up the street...walking distance. I just feel bad for the people that live on that side. I still have trees to look at outside my back door...their backyards are nothing but smoldering ash. I'm sure that they are thankful though. Rather have that to look at from home than no home at all.
Once again...thanks for your prayers. That was some scary shit. Hard to believe that it hasn't rained in forever and when we needed it the most it delivered. I don't think I am going anywhere tonight.
Great to hear you're doing well, Amber. Stay safe up there.
Amber I was so worried between your two messages. I was hoping all was okay but since you hadn't posted anymore I was fearing the worst...
Glad to read that the fire is pretty much out and that those people got lucky with their houses (as did you)! It was pouring here in the afternoon, abnormally hard and I was hoping so hard that some of it would come your way (funny to pray for rain huh?) but I am happy to hear all is okay dear
whoa 
thats some crazy shit rigth there.. glad to see everythings alright
glad ur ok amber..... muah we love u dont scare us like that again

*cheers for rain*
all those rain dances worked, my legs hurt that was like being on the stairmeister for like hours listening to trance...
becarefull with those hot spotts
Im glad Amber.. I knew everything was going to be OK .
Hey thanks you guys! I was just out of it yesterday. I had only gotten 1 and 1/2 hours of sleep before having to go into work. I was already under stress and then that happened. The fire burned 65 to 80 acres. No one was injured and no homes burned. The fire got as close as less than 25 yards from a row of 20 homes. Thank God for rain.
Harold...you are entirely too weird. 
All of Paul's (DJ Santana) trance CDs blow away any house CDs.
